...for the most important woman in my life: MY MOM! Happy Birthday, Mom!

...for Facebook because through it I found old and new friends.

...for my colleague Lynne who sent me home today and because of that I was spared from the rain. It started raining at about 6.20 p.m. and that's usually the time I would have covered 80% of my walk home.

...cheap back issues of magazines so that I get my fix without breaking the piggy bank.

...for my taxi driver and his family.

...for good appetite.

...for all the safe flights when I travel home.

...that Barbara L. had a good move into her new home and is now back online!

...for all the wonderful home-cooked meals when I'm back home in Kuala Lumpur.

...for the opportunity to meet with my colleagues from outside of Malaysia (Chengdu, Shanghai, Beijing, Bangalore, and Singapore) during the 3-day Account Leaders Workshop. Not forgetting the local team too!

...that I have my teddies to accompany me in bed when I sleep.

...for the smooth running of the 3-day workshop (see Day 22) and for a good conclusion. What a great team we have!

...for a new friend and co-worker, Scott C. I'm now carpooling in his car to go to work and home (thank you, Scott!). Also, I'm thankful for all my friends in the US and I'd like to join them in wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

...for the yummy pizza lunch treat by colleague, Gary T.

...for the car park rooftop that doubles as a mini recreational place where I live. I've found an alternative for my daily walks now that I get rides to and from work from Scott.

...for great bargains that helped me save lots!

...for peace.

...that Jim Hooper, author of A Hundred Feet Over Hellwrote to me and for his thoughtfulness in sending a bookplate. (Thank you, Jim!)

I'm Alice and I love books, beer, and racking up Qantas frequent flier miles between Singapore and Penang on Jetstar (and other parts of the world). I aspire to be a polyglot. Although I can only speak English, Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, and most recently, Italian, I'm hoping to master Swedish really, really soon!
